Writing Software for PocketPC

Aug

2006

I'm totally swamped with crap that needs to be done. That included today spent in Red Wing writing software for the PocketPC. It's proving an interesting change of pace to write for a specific device instead of the web or full-blown desktop.

There are lots of interesting challenges, including dependent apps that need to launch, multiple CAB file installations and a custom web browser I wrote to make the whole thing work. While frustrating at times, I'm pretty happy with the results.

This is exactly the kind of variety I was looking for when making the job switch in May.
